Overview 6
Site requirements
Site pad
The structural design of the HP POD 240e NA site pad must be based on the specific weight load of the
complete POD solution with IT installed, as well as any additional equipment. During design calculations, HP
recommends that you provide structural support at the identified load pad locations of the HP POD 240e NA
to be sure that the POD remains level.
When preparing the site pad, be sure to adhere to the following requirements:
•
POD load pads are in the proper location.
•
Upon installation, the POD structure must be leveled to ≤ 0.5º, which can be checked atthat time with
a surveyor’s transit.
•
Shimming is allowed at the load pads only. Place shims in increments across the load pads to be sure
of a sufficient load transfer.
IMPORTANT: The HP POD 240e NA is designed for ground level installation. If you install the HP
POD 240e NA on an elevated surface, verify that the minimum height requirements for circuit
breaker actuators are considered per national, regional, local regulations, and electrical codes.
The area in front of the outside panels must include a work platform.
Weight requirements
IMPORTANT: The provided weights are estimates of the minimum and maximum weights. The
total weight of the HP POD 240e NA is based on the IT equipment and optional components that
are purchased and installed on the POD and might vary.
The HP POD 240e NA must be installed on a surface that is capable of supporting the following weights:
•
HP POD 240e NA with 12 AHUs—approximately 66,859 kg (147,400 lb)
•
HP POD 240e NA with 12 AHUs and IT equipment installed—maximum 138,309 kg (304,920 lb)
Dimensions and required clearances
The selected site for the HP POD 240e NA must be large enough to install, service, maintain, and potentially
upgrade the unit and the payload.
The following two examples show site clearance considerations:
•
If the HP POD 240e NA is to be installed in a warehouse, be sure that the warehouse doors are large
enough to accommodate each section of the HP POD 240e NA.
•
If the HP POD 240e NA is to be installed outdoors, be sure that adequate clearance exists for all
buildings, utility lines, or other site structures such as gates and headers.
Site requirements

Future expansions
When selecting a site location, consider future space and accessibility requirements. Adequate space
around the HP POD 240e NA is necessary for airflow and cooling purposes. Keep the specified areas clear.
For specific space requirements, see the HP POD 240e NA dimensions and required clearances.
Racks
The standard HP installed rack is a 50U rack. The HP POD 240e NA has 22 IT racks per IT section, for a total
of 44 IT racks.
During maintenance, if you remove filler panels for maintenance purposes, you must replace them. Cold-aisle
to hot-aisle separation must be maintained.
Site requirements
9
CAUTION: If any racks contain empty RU space, use the HP POD 240e NA filler panels to
maintain the efficiency of the HP POD 240e NA thermal system. Filler panels are available from
HP in 10-pack quantities (part number AQ682A) and 100-pack quantities (part number
AS993A).
For more information about racks and network cabling, see the HP Performance Optimized Datacenter
Networking Guide.
Cold aisle clearance
The maximum protrusion of any installed IT component directly impacts the available cold aisle clearance for
removal and replacement of other IT components. Maximum component depth must follow the clear aisle
distance calculations. The following figure shows how to calculate this distance.
The maximum rack face-to-cold aisle wall distance is 39.5 inches. In the figure, X represents any protrusion
into the cold aisle starting from the rack face of the installed IT component (for example, the bezel). Y
represents cold aisle clearance. The cold aisle clearance dictates the maximum depth (D) of any installed IT
component. To find the maximum cold aisle clearance, calculate 100.33 cm (39.5 in) - X = Y.
IMPORTANT: As the value for X increases, the value for Y decreases, which also decreases the
maximum depth allowed for an installed component.
Grounding requirements
The HP POD 240e NA structure and internal components are all bonded together. A common grounding
electrode conductor connection point is provided on the utility end of the IT sections.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of personal injury or electric shock, the HP POD 240e NA must be
properly grounded (earthed) in accordance with national, regional, and local regulations.
CAUTION: Remove paint from all grounding surfaces. Failure to do so results in an ineffective
ground.
Site requirements

IMPORTANT: To provide power to the HP POD 240e NA, external transformers and
switchboards might be required. This equipment must be designed and installed to adhere with
local, state, and national codes, and installed by contractors with licensing required by the local
jurisdiction; city, township, and state.
For all site preparation drawings, see the HP Site Preparation Drawing Package (on page 22).
Site electrical system
To be sure that there is a complete and safe integration of the HP POD solution within your facility, HP
requires that you complete the following actions for the installed electrical system before the installation of the
HP POD solution:
•
Short circuit analysis
•
Arc flash study
•
Circuit breaker coordination study
These actions must be performed for all associated parts of the electrical power train. The majority of the
details and factors required to complete these studies are associated with the existing installed facility
infrastructure.
CAUTION: Failure to complete these studies can cause serious issues with the electrical
integration of the POD into your electrical system.
Electrical power system configuration
A preliminary meeting with the HP POD Electrical Engineering team is necessary to discuss your decision
concerning capacity limitations and the impacts of this decision on the electrical design.
When determining the final location of the power connections, consider the following:
•
Distance between the facility utilities and the location of the HP POD 240e NA
•
Distance between possible UPS or generator locations and the HP POD 240e NA
•
Requirements for routing electrical feeders (underground or overhead)
The facility power connection must be installed in compliance with local electrical codes and regulations. The
HP reference electrical installation design is based on a maximum distance of 15.2 m (50 ft) or a line of sight
between the disconnect and the HP POD 240e NA. You are required to discuss your decision concerning
capacity limitations, and the impacts of this decision, on the electrical design with the POD Electrical
Engineering Team.
A 1N electrical configuration can be achieved by providing all of the required electrical feeders from a
common power source, common switchboards, and transformers.
A 2N electrical configuration can be achieved by feeding parallel power paths from independent power
sources, switchboards, and transformers.
IMPORTANT: All 3-phase wye feeders for the HP POD 240e NA require that the neutrals and the
equipment grounding conductors remain isolated. Bonding of the two conductors is allowed at
the power source only.
Site requirements
14
Transformers and switchboards
The input power for the Critical IT Loads requires a source of 380-415V, 3phase wye power. If it does not
already exist at the source, you might have to obtain custom transformers to derive this power. In addition to
the overall loading and KVA size, you must consider the Harmonic Content of the installation when
specifying the K-Factor of the transformers. Alternatively, you can use Harmonic Mitigating Transformers to
passively cancel the harmonics generated by the IT equipment.
HP offers several power solutions that include automatic transfer switching, UPS backup, transformers and
output distribution switchboards to supply your power needs.
On-site connections might include:
•
Main facility power to the primary side of the transformer
•
Transformer to the switchboard
•
Switchboard assembly to the HP POD 240e NA
For connection information, see the HP Site Preparation Drawing Package (on page 22).
